near to Stoke Wharf, Worcestershire, Great Britain

Adjacent to the Worcester & Birmingham Canal, but the pub precedes the canal and was known as the Blacksmith's Arms, because for many years it was also the site of a blacksmith's smithy. The last blacksmith to work there was Jack Bennett who was there from 1920 to 1970. However the pub became the Queen's Head during the reign of Queen Victoria. Today it is a restaurant as well as a pub.
